imageGoogle Earth is now available for the iPhone and iPod touch. The Google gang says it allows users to “engage Google Earth as they never have before, zooming from location to location and experiencing the app’s unique features on Apple’s mobile devices.”


The Google Earth app displays the same imagery and offers the same navigational capabilities as the desktop client and, at launch, will feature layers with geo-located Wikipedia articles and Panoramio photos, as well as map labels and borders.

Available in 18 languages, Google Earth can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and will be compatible with first and second generation models of both iPhone and iPod touch operating on EDGE, 3G, and other WiFi networks.
